According to the New York Times , before Microsoft reached an agreement to acquire the mobile segment of Nokia, the Finnish phone company has been testing Android phones and Microsoft also has plans to produce smartphones Surface. Both of these options are "plan B" if Windows Phone fails.
Specifically, a team of secret Nokia has made Android smartphone for testing purposes. Nokia's project is not only on paper, which has advanced to the stage of product realization.
Nokia smartphones running Android are true, but only produced in small numbers for testing.
Nokia had faced criticism that it was wrong for choosing Windows Phone instead of Android. The market share of Nokia smartphones declined from 32.8% (2010) to 3% (up to the first half of 2013). No one was sure Nokia will be successful if you choose Android, but can not be too tragic when using an open operating systems such as Android rich apps.
The reason that Nokia plans to use Google's OS by Microsoft and Nokia have reached a cooperation agreement from 2011 to 2014. After 2014, Nokia has two options: one is to continue to use Windows Phone, the two are switched to producing Android phones. However, after selling the mobile segment for Microsoft, Nokia has no authority to determine the fate Android project.
Observers noted that Microsoft will cancel the project after the promised official property of Nokia cell array. Microsoft funds not interested in Google, it will also be difficult to develop an Android product line parallel to Windows Phone. The answer will be specific for 6 months.
